Lee was a central player in the creation of many beloved characters in the Marvel Comics, from the X-Men to Ironman and the Hulk. Stan Lee revolutionised the comic book world in the 1960s.

And with that, Lee returned home to Marvel, leaving DC with one of the most creative and fascinating events in its historic legacy. With the threat negated, the group of heroes recognize they must somehow form a family, and that's the way they all became [distinguished competition](https://therealstanlee.com/life-of-an-icon/from-dc-to-the-zodiac-legacy-stan-lees-published-works-post-marvel/)" as a fun exercise and a chance to pay tribute to the characters and their original creators (fun fact: Lee was a good friend of the legendary [Bob Kane](https://variety.com/2015/scene/spotlight/walk-of-fame-bob-kane-batman-1201622072/), creator of Batman). Catwoman looked identical to her DC canon counterpart (except for her fingernails that extended into long, white claws, very similar to a certain Marvel mutant from Canada), and Batman was given a costume that looked like a real bat (think Man-Bat or Batmanuel's (Néstor Carbonell) costume in The Tick), neither of which were particularly imaginative. Lee reveals that the Earth itself is sentient, and the green energy mist that played a piece in each of the hero's origins was purposeful on its part, seeking and creating champions to protect the Earth from the incoming Crisis. Characters like Wonder Woman and Superman were given new suits, each of which one could see the canon characters wearing, and Green Lantern was green from head to toe (and weirdly, didn't have a lantern). Finally, there's the Reverend Dominic Darrk and his Church of Eternal Empowerment, the antagonist that has a hand in each hero's individual conflicts, directly or indirectly, and who sets up the arrival of a being known as Crisis (that looks remarkably like the Anti-Monitor from DC's iconic Crisis on Infinite Earths series) for the climactic ending of the series. A few of the characters retained the powers for which they have always been known: Batman is still a person with strength and smarts, Superman can do Supermanny things, and the Flash is a speedster thanks to an injection of hummingbird DNA (yes, you read that correctly). Lee saw the opportunity to work with the " 13-issue miniseries, a series that saw Lee reinvent the legendary heroes of the DC universe.
